The one with all the ticks. That's ours.
High-waisted scrunch-bum shorts cut for lifting, Pilates, walking, and everything in between. The scrunch panel lifts and defines. The high waist stays put through every squat, hinge, and hip thrust. The fabric holds you without squashing you, so your shape shows up the way it should.
Buttery-soft 4-way stretch that hugs the right places. A no-roll waistband that does not fold over when you sit. Sculpting seams down the thigh that survive the tumble dryer. Squat-tested by real women in real change rooms.
Fabric: 78% recycled nylon, 22% elastane. Sweat-wicking, quick-dry, and opacity-tested in white so you can wear them in white without worrying.

Real Women. Real Curves. Real Confidence.
The scrunch bum is chef's kiss. My gym crush noticed.
Buttery-soft, opaque even in deep lunges. My new favourite pair.
They stay put through HIIT, running, spin, everything. And they still look cute.
What We Changed
And why they feel different.
We fixed the waistband roll.
We reinforced the 5-inch high waist with a wide compression band so it stays put through squats, sits, and school runs. No rolling, no digging, no adjusting mid-set.
We tested them by actually squatting in them.
We double-layered the seat panel and stress-tested every colour in fluoro-lit changing rooms. Opaque in every angle, every stretch, every shade, including white.
We killed the wedgie.
We redesigned the scrunch-bum seam so it lifts the shape without riding up. Sewn-in panels, not printed, so the scrunch stays scrunched after wash 40.
We sew the shape in, not iron it on.
Every scrunch panel is stitched, never heat-pressed, so the lift survives wash after wash. Same silhouette on day 1, day 40, day 400.

The questions we get asked most
Will they show through in white?
Nope. The fabric is thick enough to stay fully opaque, even in the deepest squat. We tested white on white in a fluoro-lit changing room. You are covered.
What size am I if I'm normally an XS in Lululemon?
Same. Our sizing runs true to Australian standard, which lines up cleanly with Lululemon and Alo. If you are between sizes, size down for a firmer sculpt or up for a softer feel.
Are they good for Pilates?
Yes. The scrunch stays scrunched through every roll-up and the waist doesn't budge. Half our team wears them to reformer at least twice a week.
Do they roll down when I sit?
No. The wide high-rise band and light tummy panel stay flat when you sit, drive, or bend. That was the whole reason we made them.
How do I wash them?
Cold machine wash with like colours. Skip the tumble dryer, skip the iron, line dry in the shade. Do that and they will still look new after 40 wears.
What's your return policy?
90 days to change your mind. Send unworn pairs back with the hygiene sticker attached and we refund you in full. No dramas.
